WAsHlNaToN. Jan. ll.-Hom. Barney
q. Caultield. Of Deadwood, is still here.
1t is useless to say, at this time. that he
is not after the governorship. What he
Is after the Lord only knows. He says
that he is not after the Deadw0od land
office; that he wouldn't have 1t II 1t was
offered to him. You and know that
business is dull In Deshwood, AZ 1t is
everywhere, and Deadwood lawyer
would take almost anything he could
lay his hands on. He says that he is not
after Maratta's place and wouldn't have
1t under any circumstances. Several Of
the Dakotans who know heap express
the opinion that Barney was after Judge
Church's place. but 1t was given To all
other New York man just the day after
Caullleld got here. He has visited all OF
the dc. 'artn,ents during the past week
for the purpose Of throwing everyone
off his track. But 1t all SINNERS
down to the probability that he came
after Churchs place aud IS simply stay
ing u fow days to avert suspicion Of his
Intentions. Deadw dwood folks don't come
here for fun. 1t taks time aud money.
Time Is worth money to good lawyers,
and they are not OF y class that Is given
to throwing cash into the streeta.
Charlie Frost IL still here loaded down
with the promises OF the politicians. lie
IL an energetic fellow, IL Frost, and y
good newspaper man. Hs IL too good y
writer TO be lying around seeking an Of
flee. But now that he IL iu the hght he
hates to lot 1t 60. lie has had All offer
from Democratic paper In his old home
in New York which he ought to accept
instead of waiting for the government
officials to demonstrate their mendacity
to him. When fellow goes Oh hunt
for an Office aud doesn't bag his game
inside of Q few weeks he may ~ we'll
give it 10. Capt. Naye, of Woon~ocket
did that. He was wise. He stayed here
long enough to get up a good case and
then he left it. II 1t pans out, all right
II 1t don't he is all right, for he has losI
but little time and wasted no money
That is model otfice.seeker for you, u.
it appears TO one who has been through
the mill.
Mayor Mcclure is ono Of the most i'm
portant Dakota men at the national capi
tai. He has work to do which woult
prove beneficial to the entire territory /
successful. He is interchangeable in hi
efforts to secure the passage Of the DAVE
bill for the opening VI the Sioux reser
vation. He will not succeed. He can
not succeed. Wellborn, Of Texas, ha
charge Of the bill In the house and b.
will not report 1t. Mcclure says that b
will and believes that he will, but Nc
Clure IL mistaken. There Is something
In the nature Of q nigger In the fence
some influence has been brought to bea
upon Wellborm, or it seems 80 anyway
To prevent him from reporting the bill
the house. He makes pr0digious prom
ises and Mcclure believes them, bu
they are apparently untrustworthy.
the man were in earnest he could repol
the bill at any time He has a continu
ing order, which means that he has tn
power TO call up the bill out Of its regu
lar order on the calendar by majorit
vote Of the house. Ordinarily a bill re
quires unanimous consent for such
proceeding. This bill can be taken u
by majority vote. Wellborne does nc
make the slightest effort to call it VI
Clifford. being the delegate Of the terri
torv. might call it up over WelIborn'
head, but he hasn't the nerve to do
Clifford Is not man to antagonize ar
other in the house. He is peacemake Q
but peacemakers do not count so muc
in the house Of representatives as the
do In the house Of God.
It Is repeating somewhat, but it is
truth that all may as we'll understand
that the Republicans now holding Office
in the territory are going to have the
official heads cut aft close behind the ea
early In the spring as soon as congre'
. adjourns. There are not less than 3
r Republicans holding Office yet in the te
. ritory and they must go. These be tt
words Of truth and soberness. Benin
p, thee stalks the headsman. See?
